Starting soon · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (ES-SCLC)

In brief

This is an single-arm, multicenter phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT) plus anlotinib in previously treated extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). The study is expected to enroll up to 33 eligible patients.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• 1.Voluntary participation with written informed consent obtained prior to any study-specific procedures.

• 3.Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
• 4.Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
• 5.Histologically or cytologically confirmed small cell lung cancer (SCLC) based on pathology and immunohistochemistry/immunophenotyping results; disease staged as extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) according to the Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) staging system.
• 6.Disease progression (at the time of enrollment) after at least two cycles of platinum-based systemic therapy with or without PD-1/L1 inhibitors; no more than two prior lines of therapy.
• Note: Adjuvant therapy is considered one prior line if disease progression occurs during treatment or within 6 months of the last adjuvant dose.
• 7.At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST version 1.1. Lesions previously treated with local therapy may be considered target lesions only if progression has been clearly documented at that site post-treatment. Brain lesions as sole target lesions are not acceptable.

• 9.Adequate hepatic function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN), or ≤ 2 × ULN for patients with Gilbert's syndrome; TBIL ≤ 3.0 × ULN is permitted if direct bilirubin suggests extrahepatic obstruction. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × ULN (or ≤ 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases).
• 10.Adequate renal function: Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN and creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula or other clinically validated method).
• 11.Adequate coagulation function: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN; International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
• 12.Adequate cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% assessed by echocardiography within 28 days prior to enrollment. New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification < 3.
• 13.Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use medically effective contraception from the time of signing informed consent until 6 months after the last dose of study treatment.

You may not qualify if…

• 1.History of other primary malignancies within 5 years prior to signing informed consent, except for: radically treated malignancies with no recurrence within 5 years; adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, thyroid cancer, or other malignancies considered cured.
• 2.Prior pathological diagnosis of combined small cell lung cancer (e.g., mixed SCLC and NSCLC), transformed NSCLC (SCLC transformed to NSCLC), or transformed SCLC (NSCLC transformed to SCLC).
• 3.Prior anti-tumor therapy within specified washout periods before first study dose: chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologics, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy within 4 weeks; topical anti-tumor agents within 5 half-lives; nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 6 weeks; oral fluoropyrimidines or small-molecule targeted agents within 5 half-lives; anti-tumor traditional Chinese medicine within 2 weeks.
• 4.Treatment with any other investigational drug or therapy within 4 weeks prior to first study dose.
• 5.Prior or current use of topoisomerase I inhibitors, including antibody-drug conjugates with topoisomerase I inhibitor payloads (e.g., topotecan, irinotecan, trastuzumab deruxtecan, sacituzumab govitecan, datopotamab deruxtecan [DS-1062]).
• 6.Brain metastases unless asymptomatic (stable for ≥4 weeks, requiring ≤10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent for ≥14 days prior to first dose, and no significant peritumoral edema on imaging); leptomeningeal or brainstem metastases; spinal cord compression (radiographically confirmed, symptomatic or asymptomatic); bone marrow metastases.
• 7.Imaging evidence of tumor lesions located ≤5 mm from major blood vessels, invading major vessels, or assessed by the investigator as having high risk of major bleeding during the study.
• 8.History of deep vein or arterial thromboembolic events within 6 months (e.g., cerebrovascular accident including TIA, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism); DVT adequately treated or superficial vein thrombosis with low bleeding risk per investigator may be enrolled.
• 9.Prior treatment-related toxicities (CTCAE v5.0) ≥ Grade 2, except for alopecia, residual neurotoxicity, or stable hypothyroidism on hormone replacement.
